Kick question (yes ive read the production bible)

Basically, 2 kicks with compression still doesn't do the job. I am definitely grabbing decent sounding samples, low and high/mid. But the kick still doesn't sound tight. OR fat. Im using ableton. I load the two kicks i want in the drum rack and add a multiband compresser to each one to try and boost...

Re: Too much low end? Not enough mid?

lower every oscillator an octave? bring up the high shelf in the EQ you have turned on there if that doesn't work you can try splitting the frequencies since your using Logic like me you can just route your bassline to 3 busses, name them low, mid, hi, as those will correspond to the region of freq...

Re: Too much low end? Not enough mid?

lower every oscillator an octave? This right here alone should get you closer to the sound you're looking for. A classic synthesizer newbie mistake is to treat different synths like all the others in your collection. A lot of people don't realize that some of the great characteristics of Massive's ...

Re: Too much low end? Not enough mid?

The term you're looking for is mixing, not mastering ;) But if you're bass sounds weak, I agree it's probably because of how much you've scooped out of the low end. Sure there may be a sub, but that's not going to make your main bass synth sound full if you're bitching it up by cutting the beef of ...

At the bottom you can see what range the notes are hitting in as well, surely if i go higher it will just be too high? I tried it and it just doesnt s...

Too much low end? Not enough mid?

Ive been working on just different sounds in general for my bass (working in massive) . Osc 1 is a saw wav osc2 is "electric" with the first knob turned about half way, osc3 is another saw but an octave up to make the bass thicker and so it has more range to it. (i like the way its soundin...

Re: WORKS-IN-PROGRESS for DECEMBER, 2010

Hey guys im working on this at the moment. I thought it would be nice to have a clean guitar going on in the background to give it that kinda chill/eery sound but then at the same time drop the deep bass on it. Simple but effective? Let me know what you think. Cheers http://soundcloud.com/t_s/guitar...

Re: Vocals - HOW? WHERE? WHO?

I dono where you live but in my parts a lot of producers use the musicians section of Craigslist to post ads looking for specific types of vocalists. You could also always try recording yourself! :6: im in London right now. I was thinking of recording vocals myself because i could, but i kind of wa...

Re: LOW bass with POWER

bassweight through lowcut! put on every - and i mean every - channel [except the sub of course] a lowcut varying from 110-150hz, depending on what you are lowcutting. it can get tricky with the kick. i often prefer to let the kick roll out its deepness and instead i sidechain the sub. but it works ...

Re: LOW bass with POWER

If the note is D# then it would be 19.45 Hz.... & ya shouldn't be hearing it! but ya could be hearing its harmonics. !!chea oh, sorry i forgot to mention i was using logic...Maybe i meant an octave higher? If you listen to the link then you'll know what note exactly im talking about from that :D
